Guardians of the Rift - A New Runecraft Training Method Will be Available in OSRS

01/29/22

Rift Guardians

In December 2020's Gielinor Gazette, a new minigame Guardians of the Rift, which you could play for Runecraft training in OSRS was mentioned. All content is ready now, and the poll is in progress. It will be released in March 2022 if the poll is passed.

What's Guardians of the Rift

Guardians of the Rift is a new Minigame, which you can play to train your Runecraft skill. In this Minigame, you need to collect the Essence Shards and Uncharged Batteries to create Rift Guardians and power up the Shield Guardians to defend the rift Abyssal Creatures' attack. By doing this, you will gain Runecraft skill experience. After completing each game successfully, you will be rewarded with Elemental and Catalytic Energy, which can be used to spend to get a random reward by reaching into an Abyssal Rift.

Requirements for Playing Guardians of the Rift

The first requirement is that you must be a member of RS because it's a member-only Minigame. You must have completed the Temple of the Eye quest, which is a new quest guiding you into Guardians of the Rift. And also, you must have completed Enter the Abyss Miniquest because it's a requirement for the new quest. The last requirement is you must have a Level 27 Runecraft. A high level of Agility and Mining will give you a better gaming experience.

How to Play Guardians of the Rift

You can find Rift Guardians and Shield Guardians in the Minigame. You can create and upgrade your Guardians to help the Wizards to defend the Rift. There are three phases to play the Minigame.

Phase 1: Preparation

After entering the Rift, you will have a short time to collect the limited Essence Shards and Uncharged Batteries near the Wizard, to begin with the game.

Phase 2: Prepossessing

Withdraw the pure essence from the bank in the minigame area. Combine the collected Essence Shard with your pure essence at any Runecraft alter depending on your current Runecraft level and bring the combined Unimbued Essence to the charged up Great Guardian and get ready for the next phase.

Phase 3: Battle to Win

More and more dangerous creatures are spawning in the final phase and our Shield Guardians will be in danger! Charge up the Great Guardian with more Imbued Essence and don't forget to maintain the Great Guardian's defence.

You will get Runecraft XP while playing the minigame as we said above. And you can get a large amount of XP after completing a game successfully. So try your best to win each game.

According to the official compared XP rates and OSRS Gold coins rates with other methods:

Method XP Rate/Hour GP Rate/Hour Intensity
ZMI 25,000 - 54,000 (scales with level) Low (~200,000 - 300,000) Low-Mid
Blood Runes 35,000-40,000 (plus 5,000 Mining and 6,000 Crafting) Low (~400,000 – 500,000) Very Low
Soul Runes 45,000 – 50,000 (plus 5,000 Mining and 6,000 Crafting) Low (~200,000 – 300,000) Very Low
Lava Runes 75,000 – 80,000 None (costs ~100,000 – 150,000) Very High
Guardians of the Rift 20,000 – 60,000 (scales with level) Low (~400,000 – 500,000) Medium

Rewards of Guardians of the Rift

If you have completed a game, you will get the Elemental and Catalytic Energy, which can be used to reach into an Abyssal Rift to get a random reward like Runes, Standard Talisman, Abyssal Pearls (A new currency used in the Guardians of the Rift Reward Shop), Guardians of the Rift Pet, etc...

And also, there is a reward shop where you can spend your Abyssal Pearls on some items. The shop sells Standard Talisman and some unique items like Runecraft Skilling Outfit (Helm, Chest, Legs, and Boots), which give you a chance to craft additional Runes (10% for each piece and 60% for set). 

Ahh, we almost forget the Ring of the Elements, that you can charge with Law rune and other Elemental Runes. You can teleport to Fire Altar, Water Altar, Air Altar, and Earth Altar with it. What's more, there may be a surprise for non-members that the ring will be available to be used in free-to-play if the poll is passed.

Note that this is not the final content of the guardians of the rift. We hope all the polls will be passed. Let's explore the new Minigame together in March. At the same time, we will also update our Minigame Service.
